"RotTert Quisenbcry returned
from Southern Missouri Wednes
day of lu&t week as we stated in
last week's Democrat. When we
were just ready to go to press
Bob came walking into our ofiice
with a roll of leather and pelts
under his arm that he had tanned
,
by a new process that he had' '
learned down in good old Missouri.
Its new and simple. Anyone can
tan his own leather in a few min
utes by Bob's process. A set of
harness can be carved out of a cow
hide in a short time after it comes
oil the ' "crittur * ' and there'll be
enough material left to make a
pair of iiy nets and you can half ]
sole the family shoes the coming' '
winter from the scraps. Bob
showed us a few skins and pelts
that he had-tanned * vhile down in
Mozti and they looked as good as
any leather we ever saw. A goat ,
dog , cat , squirrel and cinnamon
bear .skins were unnd soft and
pliable as a kid 'glove. lie also
had a sheep sidn tanned with the
wool on and it was a fine looking
pelt. Anyone can own a fine fin-
lap robe if he knows Bob's pro
cess of tanning and John Xei.ss'
angora goats will be in big de
mand for fine robes and children's
cloaks. The buckles , iron works
and haines will be the biggest
thinir in a set of harness or cows
will be killed for their hides and
hard winters will have lost their
terrors to the stockmen of the
northwest with Bob's new patent
ed leather tanning process. Hon
est enough there will be a revolu- !
tion in prices of all leather goods '
if this process is used by the peo
ple as advantageously as it should
t
be. Anyone doubting the above '
story can call on Mr. Quisenbery
and hear from him the story of
his patent process ia tanning
leather. It costs you but little to
learn and the work is so simple
that you won't care much when an
old cow dies for her hide will be
worth more than you could get
for the cow on foot and fattened
for the butcher's block if she had
lived till spring grass came. This
is no josh. " Ask Bob.
